What is the best online source for hundred year old rare books?

I have a copy of a book 93 years old that is in such sad shape that I’d like to replace it with a better copy.
It’s unlikely to come up on Ebay since it’s a rare title.
Where do you buy books that old? This one is 1917 from an English publisher.

I am a NYC rare book dealer. If you go to http://www.addall.com under the “used book” engine
you will be able to search by keyword. That is a very useful meta-engine of many used and rare book sites and comprised tens of millions of book at the touch of a button. It is also very good for determining the value of your old and rare books.

Im trying to furnish my new dorm room with retro/vintage items. Now where I can find stuff cheap?

Ive looked on ebay, antique stores, and garage sales. I didnt know if there was a nifty online store to find stuff at. Any tips on retro decor?
Thanks for the tips so far! Im looking on craigslist. As far as time periods…I dont really know. Im much more of an eclectic and just get it if it looks good (and if it matches everything) not incredibly old…I would say 70’s. Just stuff thats kind of out there and unique. Im going for a city look though and some of the prints Ive picked out are of New York. I also have a few modern pieces mixed in. Im sorta new to this so Im planning before I purchase!!

i would like to find a good clothing store in nyc?

please do not answer with macys, abercrombie, abercrombie and fitch, hollister, american eagle, Pink from vs, aeropostale, h and m. i am trying to find a store that sells vintage/ antique stuff. thanks

I currently do not know many vintage store names, but for the best buys search down town and street markets. Of course you can always find big buys at department stores, but hence you are not asking for such here are some of the most popular names;

Eye Candy; Small shop with vintage accessories
M.A.D; Vintage Couture from Top Labels over the last decades.
What Comes Around Goes Around; In Soho- from casual to formal.
Marmalade; Great Vintage Collection, and some works of local designers.
Allan & Suzi; Flamboyant Vintage and great service.

Be aware these stores will be somewhat semi to expensive.

Have fun.

How do you price an antique typewriter?

Maybe it’s buyers remorse talking. I bought this antique Royal typewriter in nearly perfect condition, functional and all for $380 from a typewriter dealer. All metal with glass keys – great condition paint. Just beautiful. I’m a writer and love using it. But i seriously paid a good chunk of change for it. Was this silly?

It depends on how old it actually is. If its super old you may be able to get $150 out of it, but I would say nothing more.

Can you successfully put word documents onto an i Pod Touch without any problems?

I have lists of comic books and other collectibles that require long lists. Instead of carrying around printouts at shows and conventions, I would like to put them an an i Pod Touch. I understand that it is difficult to do this on a regular i Pod, so I was wondering about how difficult or easy it would be in an i Pod Touch.

I haven’t tried out either of these programs, but a quick google search turned up Quickoffice and Documents to Go. Documents to Go seemed to be a bit buggy though. I hope that helps. Please note you have to pay for both programs.

It should be fairly easy to do.
